My January Obsessions

January 31, 2016

I’m a fairly obsessive person.

I can admit that and feel no shame whatsoever.

It’s not out of control, or anything, but if I like something enough you’re bound to hear about it at one point.

As it turns out, I find that there are new things I become obsessed with on a regular basis – hair styles, skin care products, scents.. basically anything. It’s the last day of January, and since we’re in a new year, I thought I’d start a new series of posts – My Monthly Obsessions.

Here are my January obsessions.Read More

Why I Doodle in My Bullet Journal

January 26, 2016

I noticed a lot of people on the Bullet Journal Facebook group going back and forth between doodling and not doodling in their BuJo.

Some journalers prefer the simple layout – sticking to one color and simple, structured pages.

Other journalers, like myself, prefer to doodle – my pages are all over the place, and there are tons of different colours and pages strewn throughout.

Here are reasons why I doodle in my Bullet Journal, and some of my favorite doodles. Read More

Things To Do When You’re Stuck in Bed

January 21, 2016

Tuesday afternoon, I threw out my back.

Yeah. It’s just as painful as it sounds.

The cherry on top is that it’s not even a cool story – I was putting on pants. PANTS. One of the most basic items of clothing to put on has, in turn, left me stuck in bed all day.

My right leg went in no problem, but as soon as I even attempted to put that left leg in, my back just gave out and I almost fell to the floor completely – it was the most painful round of hokey pokey ever.

On the plus side, those pills and stick-on heating pads have been life savers.

Brown Sugar Coconut Oil Lip Scrub

January 17, 2016

I love coconut oil.

I also love DIY projects and skincare.

So, how thrilled am I to tell you all about a DIY skincare product that’s super easy to make? Extremely.

We all know that coconut oil is “in” these days; a previous post I wrote highlighted a few different ways you can use coconut oil in your everyday cooking and beauty routines.

Its health benefits are endless, and it’s one of the most versatile all natural products out there. So naturally, I made a brown sugar coconut oil lip scrub.

In my January ipsy Glam Bag I received a lip scrub that I wasn’t super keen on, and I mentioned that I preferred my own. I decided to share my recipe with you all, because a) it’s super easy to make, b) only needs 3 ingredients, and c) who doesn’t love a good lip scrub?Read More
